16th Annual SpireFest

You are invited to support student scholarships at the 16th annual gala and charity auction, SpireFest, at 6 p.m. Saturday, April, 13. SpireFest is the single largest annual fundraising event for student scholarships and one of the most important traditions at Saint Mary. This year, the Sheraton Overland Park Hotel will serve as its backdrop.

We will honor one of our greatest supporters as the Saint Marian of the Year at this year’s event: Archbishop James Keleher. The night will also feature a silent and live auction; gourmet dinner; dancing; open bar; and more.

“Every year, the needs of our students grow, and every year, we look to surpass our previous efforts at SpireFest …The gifts of our friends and supporters are invaluable to our students. These donations aren’t just numbers. They represent goals attained and dreams realized.” – Sister Diane Steele, president of the University of Saint Mary.
